Beyond the lights and the camera, our guest spent her nights in darkness. Between seedy bars, lost time, and a painful quest for love, marriage, and a long-term relationship, she was spiraling—and no one ever knew. What started as an escape from her oppressive childhood had become an addiction that plagued and defined her.

But all along, she knew something was missing, a truth she once knew was calling her back. Join us to hear her story of knowing that something had to change, and fast. But how? Be encouraged as you discover how to break the chains of addiction. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
